This is my last letter

Kind Young Heart, Darkly Haunted

It was a bright golden day out, one of Celestia's finest this year. While not particularly hot, or damp. It was these days that the yellow pony looked forward to the most. For it allowed her more time with her animals, for she loved her animals, and her animals loved her in return. But of all the creatures under Fluttershy's care, there was one who held a special place in her heart. He was a white bunny named Angel. And while he usually had a rather sour attitude towards most things, and was quite spoiled at times, Angel was with her through thick and thin.

Fluttershy hummed a merry little tune to her animals as she went about feeding them for the last time that day. Since her and the others had agreed to stop visiting Twilight she had been feeling much better. She loved her friend dearly...but ever since that day in the forest...something didn't feel quite right. She had reasoned it down to something only unicorns could deal with, as they had a higher propensity for magic. Yet in the end...it had a sinister aura to it, something deeper...primeval in nature, barbaric, and exceedingly complex.

She completed her simple and final task. Looking about she noticed something rather odd. None of the animals had so much as touched the various food stuffs she had given them, and opted to gaze with rapt attention out her back window. From her angle she couldn't see through the window clearly, curious as to what had made her animals act in such a way she nervously took a couple steps forward. The change in viewpoint gave her the faintest sight of a shadow cast along the glass.

She immediately fell to the floor with a whimper. Her uncontrollable shivering only made worse as the stares of the animals slowly fell upon her. Gathering the merest scraps of courage she had left, she peeked between her hooves back at the window. The ominous shadow had disappeared, and with it, her animals peculiar actions. They finally began to eat, seemingly oblivious to the events that had just taken place. However, whenever Fluttershy got near one of the animals they would shy away from her, while some of the more brazen ones even daring to bite at her. As if they had never been domesticated. Even her darling Angel took up arms against her, beating her sobbing form back with a wooden spoon into her bedroom. He gave Fluttershy one last glare before slamming the door shut.

Fluttershy was too shocked at the reactions of her animals to do...well...anything at all really. Her voice had caught, only coming out in pitifully quiet whimpers. The noise of various cages being unlocked and opened pounded against the door. It was if she had treated them horribly...which she knew wasn't true...and only plunged her kind heart to the floor. These animals where the only things she had besides her friends...she had reached a depth of despair she had never thought possible...abandoned by the things she loved. Animals where her special talent for Celestia's sake! This was all she had...her friends where important...but this, this was her entire world. And it all came crashing down in one fell swoop.

But out of it all...it was her little Angel that surprised her the most, of all the animals she had helped raise, nurture, mend, and provide shelter for, Angel had remained the one constant and intelligent companion she relied upon. He might not have always been nice, but he was there, and that's what mattered.

She curled into a ball amongst her covers, she only wanted this to go away. Her eyes grew heavy as she cried. Eventually blissful sleep granted her a reprieve from her now meaningless life.

No sooner had she felt sleep wash over her did her eyes snap back open, revealing the last beams of light shining on her face as they disappeared over the horizon. And now...well...now she was completely and utterly alone. She tried closing her eyes again to no avail, it looked as if this was now her life a bleak existence with nothing to care for.

Despite how she felt at the moment her stomach could no longer be ignored, she was absolutely ravenous. She slowly eased the wooden door open, the creaking from the hinges grated against her ears. “U-um...h-hello?” Fluttershy whispered out to the empty living room...the emptiness magnified her voice...though it was for naught, as nopony answered her in return. She then made her way as silently as possible to the pantry. The animals where in such a rush to get out they hadn't disturbed it contents. She opened the pantry door and grabbed the first thing her hoof found, a nice fresh apple. As soon as she began to withdraw her appendage the light upon the counter flickered for a few seconds before going dim and slowly brightening back up again.

Fluttershy slammed the pantry door shut. Waves of fear began to pulse through her mind, she knew that whatever she did. She must not look behind. “Eyes straight ahead, won't be dead, eyes straight ahead, won't be dead, eyes straight ahead, won't be dead.” Fluttershy chanted this to herself as she dropped her apple and carefully made her way to the hallway that led to the front door. She had an irrepressible fear that if she looked other than where she was going, something extremely bad was going to happen. Concentrating solely on what was in front of her, Fluttershy finally reached the hallway that led to her front door.

There was only one problem...in order to get to the front door she had to maneuver around a corner. And she had absolutely no idea what was behind that corner. Whatever it was that was behind her was clearly playing with her. Fluttershy hid her face between her hooves as she deliberated over what to do. Each passing moment a living agony as she was forced to choose. The was no bucking way she could fly, the pure, raw, emotion of fear flowing through her made sure of that. So she did the only thing she could do. Close her eyes and blindly charge for the door.

As she galloped through that narrow little hall way she could have sworn to Celestia that she felt something...otherworldly brush against her wing. She didn't have time to dawdle on this however. She made no effort to slow down as she completely busted down her own front door and hysterically made her way towards Applejack's farmhouse as quickly as she could.

This wasn't nearly as fast as she hoped, that feeling of utter hopelessness clung to her as she made her way down towards the orchard. She hadn't paid attention to where she bounded off to, and was now in an unfamiliar part of the rather large apple orchard. She had never seen this area before, the apples appeared black, almost rotten, without the sunlight shining on them. And these trees grew a lot closer to one another.

Fluttershy forgot her chant, and began desperately looking for a way out, a flicker of light from a warm home, anything to help from this plight. Her breathing became heavy and labored. Every once in a while she could have sworn she spotted a limb on a tree that was unnaturally...slender. She galloped through those forsaken apple trees, whose branches seemed to hang down just to whip her as she ran by.

It was here she came to a circular clearing in the middle of the apple forest. Where the trees were most pleasantly...slender. The thoughts in her head became those of anger, not fear. She had faced a full grown dragon. What match could this trickster be? “Come on out and show yourself!” Fluttershy declared valiantly amongst the trees. “Where are you?!” Fluttershy made sure she was heard by the creature before she gathered herself. She stood in this clearing, waiting for the beast to show. Deciding that this time it was truly gone, she turned around to head back ho-

Her entire life flashed before her as her eyes where forced upward into the slender beings...face...

HOW CAN HE SEE, NO HOPE, NO NO NO NO N-

And the element of kindness faded from existence.

A/N :Well, the surprisingly huge amount of positive reviews I got definitely made this a reality. I entertained the idea of continuing the story whether my audience liked it or not, but you guys definitely pushed me into doing it, and as a gift, I forced myself to play slender. So that I would stay awake and give you another chapter. And really, thanks you guys. I know this ones a bit different using a third person limited POV, but I really wanted to stick to the spirit of the myth, the games and of course, to the overall theme of the story. Just tell me what you didn't like this time around. Now I do want you to know that I indeed have an actual plot figured out for this story, but its really undeveloped, and it will come into focus later, I just really want to let slendy have his way with the mane 6 at the moment. So bear with me, that means at the very least six chapters of slenderman stalking goodness. Or maybe ill just ship a couple ponies and have them be taken at the same time, I don't know. Just, tell me what you peoples think, and I promise I will keep you guys in mind when I begin the next chapter. And I know that the chapters are rather short, I'm just trying to get rid of a couple characters and get a real feel on typing the scenes involving slenderman before I really start hammering down on the keys.
